Save your stuff in the workplace

Save Your Stuff in the Workplace:

In 1994, in response to the Northridge Earthquake in the Los Angeles area, Scott Haskins was asked to write a pamphlet entitled "How To Respond After An Earthquake." 500,000 units were distributed to the public through the Human Resource department of The Bank of America Corporation.

Following this event, he was asked to write "Save Your Stuff in the Workplace" because there was (and is) no other information available to the corporate and government world. "Save Your Stuff" fills the need for public outreach and education on the subject of Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Response. There is no other resource available to provide this information and education in an entrepreneurial way. The presentation of the educational information is unique in that it translates the professional conservation/preservations into plain public English.

As a self-help book is is the ultimate manual. . .

This is a must-have book for anyone who prizes the family’s photos, papers, etc., even without a home disaster.

will get offices and businesses reopened earlier after a disaster

If our 1st first responders had been prepared with this information, our relief services would have been back into action after Hurricane Katrina two weeks earlier! Instead, our personnel were home picking up the pieces and looking for their ‘stuff.’ We honestly believe that this information, put into practice, will get offices and businesses reopened earlier after a disaster.

Save Your Stuff has an essential message

As an author and expert in the human resource industry, I believe that Save Your Stuff has an essential message for the workplace and emergency preparedness/disaster planning. Scott Haskins’ message is clear, his continuing education is top quality, and I am intent on getting the word out to all of my contacts in the industry. The human resource and recruiting industries will embrace this informative and practical approach to preventive care of important articles that address the workplace.

It offers sound instruction

This informal, even whimsical book . . . is particularly valuable because of its practicality. It offers sound instruction rather than high-minded scholarship to address the kinds of objects real people really have. This book is a valuable resource for reliable information.

By Sally Wood, Guest blogger Properly storing collectibles, art and family history keepsakes should always be a key concern… after all, YOU are the “collection” curator!

Old documents can be a valuable source of family history information. In addition to formal documents, such as birth, death and marriage certificates, you may have old letters or other papers written by people from your family tree.

Our family heritage items are not all about financially valuable family heirlooms that will grow in value. Our heritage is also about the photographs and documents that help us to feel a close personal connection with the past.

Our tangible connections to the past, and the stories that go with them, can help us to form a sense of who we are and where we have come from. The lives that we have lived in the past shape our identities and influence the way we live now, but it can be difficult to […]
